This man was the source of many moments of gut busting laughter and wonderful quotable lines
Dom: "...What the hell are you doing! This is a closed set!"
Slim Pickens: "I'm working for Mel Brooks" (and draws back a fist)
Dom: "Not in the face!!!" (punched in the gut)...(weakly) "thank you..."
RIP Dom :asian:

Dom DeLuise, actor, comedian and chef, dies at 75

LOS ANGELES – Dom DeLuise, the portly entertainer and chef whose affable nature made him a popular character actor for decades with movie and TV audiences as well as directors and fellow actors, has died. He was 75.
Agent Robert Malcolm said DeLuise died about 6 p.m. Monday at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica. Malcolm said the family did not release the cause of death.
"He had high blood pressure, he had diabetes, he had lots of things," but seemed fine as recently as two weeks ago, he said.
DeLuise entered the hospital on Friday and his wife and all three sons were there when he died "peacefully," Malcolm said. A family statement said: "It's easy to mourn his death but easier to remember a time when he made you laugh."
DeLuise, who loved to cook and eat almost as much as he enjoyed acting, also carved out a formidable second career later in life as a chef of fine cuisine. He authored two cookbooks and would appear often on morning TV shows to whip up his favorite recipes.
